Once you get past all the mush about how much he loves and misses his wife, all the whining about how stupid all the other lawyers, officers, and advisors were, and what a putz this guy really was, it a should be a very interesting book, unfortunately, it isn't.
With his interaction with, and knowledge of the prisoners this should have been a great read. If he had just gotten to the meat of the trials, his observations, and something about the defendant's reasoning and justification for their actions during the reign of the Nazis, this book could have been be a great piece of history.
I had to put this book down before I got to the end and turn to the last chapter to read the verdicts and sentences. There was nothing about HOW the judges came to their decisions or reactions of the defendants.
All in all this book isn't worth a read, I finally tossed it in the round file, where it belongs.
